Hi, haven't run into this one myself but surely, this is one of the few
kinds of access that is covered by that laughable piece of legislation known

P.S. I often have the problem with JAWS prompts in Edit boxes on websites,
using 5.1 so, if that's the one that works, there must still be quite a bit
of sloppy web design going on - I definitely notice it with untagged graphic
links, unless that's something 5 doesn't do.
